Football: ‘Absolute joke!’ - Solskjaer fumes at Premier League scheduling

The Man United boss urged England's top flight to 'sit back, take a deep breath and use common sense'. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “To the impossible kick-off time that we got handed today, how can you expect players to perform at the best of their ability when you set us up at 12:30 today? Absolute joke. "What sense is there for us playing on a Saturday when you can play us on a Sunday, when there's an international break after? I cannot say enough how difficult these times are for everyone, never mind footballers, everyone in the world. Of course, we want to see football, we want to see football with quality, and our boys were set up to fail today with the scheduling. Take a step back, breathe twice, and try to think about the times we're in. "What to do? Sit back, take a deep a breath, look at the scheduling and use common sense. “Now I think is an important time to raise it. Look after the players. We've already had too many injuries in the Premier League. Not just my players, other teams' players. We need to think about them."
